Which of the following statements about the phosphorus cycle is false? The main abiotic reservoir for phosphorus is in the soil.

Plants release dissolved phosphate ions into the soil. Guano can be used by farmers to add phosphorus to the soil. Phosphates that drain from soils into the sea becomes part of new rock and will cycle back into living organisms.

Answer: The main abiotic reservoir for phosphorus is in the soul

Explanation:

Phosphorus cycle refers to the ways phosphorus moves from through lithosphere , hydrosphere and biosphere.

Phosphorus is essential for plants growth and major components of nucleotides in DNA and RNA. It is a major constituent of teeth.

Steps in phosphorus cycle are;

Weathering: the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces. Rock is the major source of phosphorus.

Other sources of phosphorus is from phosphate fertilizers which is applied to the soil to be absorb by plant.

Absorbption of phosphorus: plant absorb phosphorus in the soil which is use for plants growth. Some phosphorus can be washed into the water system which is use by plants and animals there.

Return to the environment through decomposition: when plants and animals die, microbes acts on them and bring about decomposition. When they are decomposed,phosphorus is released into the environment.

Which types of plant cells must receive glucose from other plant cells?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

While plant cells have chloroplasts to photosynthesize, they also require ATP for cellular functions, and do use oxygen to break down some of the sugar they produce in order to generate that ATP. They need mitochondria for this.

In particular, at night when there is no light, plants undergo cellular respiration since there is no sunlight to photosynthesize.

They do, however, produce far more sugar and oxygen through photosynthesis than they use up in respiration.

What is secreted by the gastric mucous neck cells and pancreatic duct cells to neutralize stomach acid?
erik [133]

Answer:

Bio carbonate ions

Explanation:

The pancreas secrets an aqueous mixture ( water, digestive enzymes and bicarbonate ions) during digestion of food substances from the stomach into the duodenum to begin the process of absorption and assimilation.

The pancreatic duct are lined with duct cells. These are cells which secretes HCO3- ,into the aqueous mixture. This ion is basic. Therefore it  neutralizes the acidity of the  of  the chyme to  released from the stomach to enable the pancreatic enzyme to work.

The bicarbonate ions also prevent the walls of the pancreases from getting burnt by the effect if the acidity of the chyme.
